factory_bot_rails_seeder: a gem to mass generate factories for your models
Hey all, just published a simple gem to mass generate FactoryBot factories for existing projects. Someone had this issue on GitHub (https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot_rails/issues/404). I failed to build it in a nice way within the main gem, but wanted to get a solution out there for people who might be in need. I had to get some legacy codebases up to speed in the past, and this would have been useful. Cheers! https://github.com/FanaHOVA/factory_bot_rails_seeder
